Jeanne R. Meadows Elementary School Reviews

My daughter went here for Kindergarden (2007) and then to another school. Boy was that a bad idea because their standards were low. We moved back the first chance (2009) I could get to the area and decided not to leave. The children for this expected area is surprisingly pleasant and polite. Apparently it's the best school in the district (scores) it sure feels like it and we are deciding not to leave! P.S. They really need to do something grande with the parking and building situation along the backside of the grounds. Perhaps a bigger and wider cafeteria for one ^^ Parent-teacher night makes that cafeteria look small.
